Griffin

Logline:

"A wildlife ranger with a deep commitment to protecting gorillas, a dedicated zoo veterinarian and an egotistical surgeon band together to protect a singular creature named Griffin -- a half-ape, half-dolphin with the intelligence of any human."

Genre: Action/Adventure

Synopsis

Kamau was once a park ranger faced with a Hobson's choice: save his son's life or kill one of the last of the gorilla species. He chose to let his son die and is now a broken man.

Anna is a beautiful veterinarian who teams up with Kamau to protect Griffin, a half-ape and half-dolphin creature, at the zoo. There are many people in the world who want a piece of this unique animal. Anna's incompetence in the lab led to Griffin's birth and she now bears responsibility for his survival. For Kamau, protecting Griffin is a chance for redemption.

Erik Zimmer is both a brilliant surgeon and obsessive hunter. He at first pursues Griffin like he would any other animal, setting in motion a long chase out of the zoo and into the wild. However, once he witnesses Griffin's intellectual abilities, he begins to consider Griffin his equal. This causes Zimmer to question the true distinction between humans and animals and to re-examine his own moral compass.

Zimmer joins Kamau and Anna to protect Griffin from a group of sadistic smugglers. Will Griffin be able to survive in the wild without the medical care he so urgently requires? Will Griffin even be willing to go back to captivity? Is Zimmer really a changed man or does he still want Griffin's stuffed pelt on his wall?


Thank you. "Griffin" can be submitted through an attorney or manager if needed. Also please let me know if you would like to see "Wall Street Sumo", a drama about the greatest college football player of all time who tries to find redemption in the sumo ring.
